Benoy, helped me recognize my emotions so I am not reactive but thoughtful find my superpower and utilize that to its fullest, everyone has one, especially the founder-CEOs manage the whole self which includes family, employees and failures and understand being present is not about paying attention to what the other person is saying right now but more about the context of what is being said now and why.

In my 3+ years working with Benoy Tamang I have seen not only my work life change but my home life change.

With his help and empowerment to recognize my fears, I can delegate more, trust my team, and watch my company break through the ceiling I had helped create. I was in a space where work seemed like a chore, and taking a vacation was rare with the efficiencies and trust that have now been created in my business as I opened up to Benoy’s process.

Work has become enjoyable again. I can focus on staying in my lane and working on what I can do well, delegating work I used to hold on to, and empowering my team. I can be more focused and ready for work and take time off with no stress. When I take time off now, I can be present in the moment and there for my family, with no anxiety about my return to work.

I have a lot to say about Benoy Tamang as he assisted me through a fog I was in. When I say “fog” I mean a period of time that I could not make proper CEO decisions, I had a fear of making the wrong choices (so most of the time, didn’t make them) and self-doubt of my abilities. Benoy is awesome at what he does and was able to see right through me and notice I needed assistance.

What he did was not change who I am, he cleared the path, so I could be who I am.
He exposed me to tools I had all along and worked along side of me to use them properly. He proves me with guidance, but doesn’t give me answers. I have the answers already, He knew the perfect questions to ask. I also needed to be capable of hearing and listening to the answers I had in me.

Everyone could use a coach and I’m very happy Benoy is my coach.

I am now a better CEO/Coach to my company.

While I think most CEOs are looking for objective advice and help, the most powerful questions I find you can work on with a coach are:

​

Is my level of trust in each of my team members justified and how can it be increased?

​

Is my concern/fear about our business strategy valid and how can it be addressed?

​

Is my response to a given situation appropriate or am I over or under-reacting based on a personal bias or blindspot?

​

Overall having a coach is most helpful in providing a means to ensure your personal viewpoint as CEO is as balanced as possible allowing you to make truly objective assessments and decisions by minimizing distortions magnified by personal fears.

Before Benoy, I woke up every morning in fear that I wouldn’t be able to mature fast enough as CEO to keep up with our rapidly-growing company, disappointing my co-founders, family, investors, and employees. Today, I’m confident in my position as CEO and I am the appropriate balance of humble yet confident that I can be CEO through exit.

Before Benoy, I struggled to know what tasks the CEO should focus on, and what tasks others in the organization should carry. Today, we have achieved the right balance of me focusing on the most strategic work and relying on my team to worry about the details of less critical tasks.”
